A French advertisment for the Central Society of Provincial Banks depicting Uncle Sam shaking hands with General Lafayette in a patriotic, allegorical union meant to symbolize an alliance of not only military strength, but also financial security. Most likely this was a poster calling on citizens to subscribe to a war loan, before the overprinting of the specific loan was added.
